About Me

I'm keen to meet with like minded folk, travel, learn, swap stories & share culinary experiences.. Food is key :)

I'm a Creative Media Professional & I work with a leading TV Network in Singapore. When I'm not working, I'm saving the world from boredom with my theories on aliens actually living inside John Stamos' hair (unproven but I'm fairly positive). I travel for food & food often travels to me.

I write screenplays for films I will someday make & love to go for long walks across Singapore. I can quote dialogues from every single Batman film (even the bad ones) & I'm strongly considering adding that to my CV.

I enjoy making ink portraits of interesting people I meet.

Lamb cooks better than chicken in my kitchen & I've also been credited with knowing some of the most hidden food joints in Singapore that no-guide book would ever point you to.

I also enjoy skating at the beach & backpacking to new countries whenever I have the chance

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I live by myself in a small yet cozy 1BHK/Studio Apartment & my place is highly accessible to the best that Singapore has to offer (Chinatown, Orchard, Botanical Gardens, Harbourfront etc). I'm happy to host solo travelers since I have 1 Japanese style Spare Mattress from MUJI in my living room. During your stay, we can enjoy some cold beers, local food & great movies (I have a massive library of films) with some home made snacks. I would also enjoy showing you around Singapore in my spare time & trading recipes from your home-country & mine.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Accidentally witnessed 100+ year old Tortoises trying to have sex in Mauritius at an observatory. They make strange noises & almost always look away from each other.

Eating Sheep's head at an African township & having all the locals laugh at me at how I made a sandwich out of such an otherwise unconventional street snack.

Walking through a graveyard in South Goa alone at 11pm at night so I can pass through & go to the city to grab some fresh fish to eat. Yes. I would do anything for some fried fish!

Fell into ice cold glacier water while rafting in the Himalayas & had visions of Alec Baldwin

Walking around with a bedsheet on my head to scare a local hotel owner once. He drove us away with a stick in his hand. We even ripped a bed sheet in the bargain.

Lived in a Jungle for 3 months in Malaysia while working on a Reality Show & had bugs, roaches, lizards, scorpions put over me to try out a stunt once.

Oh. Is that one amazing thing? Haha

Teach, Learn, Share

Backpackers, Writers, Painters, Teachers, Travelers, People from the Film-Production Business, People from Advertising, Computer Technologists & App Developers - everyone is welcome.

I would love to learn about your country, craft or lifestyle since part of my profession is being a storyteller & I enjoy learning new things.

People who prefer phones to live-human interaction, those who are untidy & those are only looking for a free bed with no mutual sharing can look elsewhere.
